## Introduction

Gravitational Teleport ("Teleport") is a tool for remotely accessing isolated clusters of
Linux servers via SSH or HTTPS.

Unlike traditional key-based access, Teleport enables teams to easily adopt the following
practices:
Gravitational Teleport ("Teleport") is a modern SSH server for remotely accessing isolated clusters of Linux servers via SSH or HTTPS. It is intended to be used instead of `sshd`. Teleport enables teams to easily adopt the following practices:

- Avoid key distribution and [trust on first use](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trust_on_first_use) issues by using auto-expiring keys signed by a cluster certificate authority (CA).
- Integrate SSH credentials into Google Apps or other OAuth identitiy providers.
- Enforce 2nd factor authentication.
- Connect to clusters located behind firewalls without direct Internet access via SSH bastions.
- Record and replay SSH sessions for knowledge sharing and auditing purposes.
- Collaboratively troubleshoot issues through session sharing.
- Discover online servers and Docker containers within a cluster with dynamic node labels.

Teleport is built on top of the high-quality [Golang SSH](https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/crypto/ssh)
implementation and it is fully compatible with OpenSSH.
